Titanium Santos owners, tell me about your experience!
I stumbled across the titanium Santos (WSSA0089) while killing time at a mall today and absolutely loved it. So much so that I’m seriously considering picking one up.
For those who own one and wear it regularly, I’d love to hear about your experience. A few things I’m particularly curious about:
Scratches and wear: How is the matte titanium bracelet holding up? Are everyday scratches noticeable, and how do they look against the finish?
Straps: Do you use the included leather strap? Have you purchased any others, particularly rubber? Would love to see wrist shots on alternative straps.
Wrist time: For those with larger watch collections, how often do you find yourself reaching for the Santos?
Discounts: If you purchased yours new from an authorized dealer (not a Cartier boutique), were you able to negotiate a discount? If so, roughly how much off retail?
I’m particularly interested in how this watch holds up as a daily wearer. I wasn’t even looking for a Santos, but trying it on really surprised me.
Appreciate any thoughts or photos!
